Secrets of the Magic Mirror Explained.
Dangers OF Alpine Tourists.
Modern science has clearly explained most
of the s.ucr5titions that were E. .uly believed
in two or three centuries ago, and among
them that of the magic mirror of the famous
astroogor Nostradamus. In the middle of
the Sixteenth century Nostradalnus was
looked upon with awe as holding intercourse
with fam liar spirits. His magic mirror was
believed to disclose to those consulting it
~ vents of the past anil prophecies for the
lturc, and the crcdulity of the age is re
called by the fact that even the crafty Cath
,rinc de Medici was firm believer in the
magic mirror. 1t will he remembered THAI

The revolving custom Of human sacrifice is
carried on to a horrible extent ON the upper

that man dying in this world is simply

actly the same existence, requiring the same
food and attendance Upon the death of a
chief, his relatives or friends kill about half
his Slaves, men and women, to go with him

DESIGN FOR TOILETTE TABLE.

This table is of wood, painted white and

with red flannel, over which is ocru colored

drapery consists of Turkey red calico upon
which are applied, with chain stitch, designs
of flowers or birds cut out of cretonne. If it
is desired to make the table handsome, the

CHAPTER XVII.

PANCAKE ON BED OF PAIN
Going into the wards one morning, Rachel
found that Lieut.. Joseph Pancake had been
brought in suffering from what the surgeon
pronounced to be "febrile symptoms of a
mild type, from which he will no doubt re
cover in a few days, with rest, quiet and
proper food"
1t is possibly worth while to note the coin
cidence that these symptoms developed with
unexpected suddenness III the midst of earnest
preparations by the Army of the Cumber-
land, for a terrible grapple at Perryville with
the Confederate army of the Tennessee
Pancake recognized Rachel at once, much
to her embarrassment, for her pride WINGED
at playing the role of nurse before an ac-
quaintance, especially when that acquaint-
ance was her fathers hired man, whom she
knew too well to esteem highly.
20, Miss Rachel, he groaned, as she came
TO his cot in response to his earnest call,
"Tm so glad TO see you, for I'm the sickest
man that ever cate into this hospital.
Nothin but the best o. care'll carry mo
through and | know you'll give it to me for
the sake of old times, and Joseph's face ex-
pressed to his comrades the idea that there
had been time when his relations with her
had been exceedingly tender.
Rachel's face flushed at the impudent as
sumption, but she overcame the temptation
to make a snubbing answer, and replied
quietly:
mo, Joseph, you are not SO sick as you
think you are" (She calls him Joseph, au-
dibly commented some of those near as il
this was a confirmation of Joe's insinuation ]
1.-THE surgeons say" she continued, athat
your symptoms are not at all bad, and that
you'll be up again in few days"
20, them doctors always talk that way
They're the fiintiest-hearted set l ever seen
in all my born days. They're always pre-
tending that they don't believe there is
nothin' the matter with a Teller. really be-
leve they'd little liefer a man'd die than
not Tney don't seem to take no sort Of in
tereSt in savin' the soldiers that the country
needs so badly"
Rachel felt as if it would sweeten much
hard service if she could tell Pancake out
right her opinion, that he was acting very
ealishly; but other counsels prevailed, and
she said encouragingly:
"You are only discouraged, Joseph-thats
all 4 few days rest here will restore your
health and your spirits. "
mo, I'll never be well,a persisted Joe,
unless l have the best o. care; but feel
much better now, since / find you here, for
I'm sure you'll take ss much interest in me as
q sister would
She shuddered little at the prospect Of
even temporary sisterly relations TO the fell
low, but replied guardedly:
"Of course III do what can for you.
Joseph, and started to move away, but be
caught her dress and whimpsred:
~Oh, don't go, Miss Rachel; don't 90 and
leave me all alone. Stay any way TIN I'm
fixed somehow comfortable

terics,n thought Rachel, with curling lip. is

The column had stopped, and the captain
commanding the advance was listening pa
tiently to what he supposed was the address
of an enthusiastic but eccentric old Kentuck-
ian, when one of the sharp-eyed ones in the
company shouted out:
~ declared it's Kent Edwards and Abe
Bolton"
The yell Of laughter and applause at the
ludicrous masquerade shook the hills. The
colonel rode up TO see what occasioned it. He
recognized his two men, and his face darkened
with anger.
"You internal rascals, he shouted, you
have been Off plundering houses, have you, in
